Hops, Follows, and Tag Alongs, Oh My!

My tastes are, to put it mildly, eccentric. Epic fantasy (dragons, elves, magic, etc.) is my oldest and dearest literary love, followed by horror (the darker the better), science-fiction (apocalyptic tales and stories of first contact especially), fetish erotica (I love a little submission between the covers), romantic fiction (I'm a sap when it comes to a good romance, but I need a good story too), and some geeky science fodder (anything dealing with dinosaurs or archaeology).

"What book-to-movie adaption have you most liked? Which have you disliked?"

The one movie that immediately comes to mind when speaking of dislike is The Lawnmower Man. How anybody could have taken such a creepy, surreal Stephen King story (from his Skeleton Crew collection) about a murdering satyr and demonic lawnmower, and turn into a virtual reality movie . . . well it boggles the mind. To stick with the Stephen King motif, I thought that Pet Semetary did an almost perfect job of capturing the book.

"How many books do you read in a week? And in what format do you read them, or listen to them?"

I'm becoming more and more attached to my Kindle. I didn't like e-book format for awhile but now I don't know what I did without them! It's like having an entire library in the palm of your hand. And I definitely haven't seen The Lawnmower Man! Happy Friday! ;) New follower.

Let’s kick off Memorial Day Weekend with some scandal and controversy.

I absolutely loved every minute of the Lord of the Rings films and felt they hit the mark when they brought Tolkien’s masterpiece to the big screen.(ducking as rotten tomatoes are thrown at me as the torches are lit and the pitchforks raised)

Thanks for stopping by! I'm your new follower :) i love that you mentioned Stephen King movie adaptations, they tend to be either really bad or really great. I really liked Pet Semetery, too. I thought that Shining was excellent, too! And I can't wait to see how the Dark Tower will turn out :)
